Slowly forgoten

Sink away the memory
sink away love
drown out passion
drown out patience
burn down the tower of lies

Slowly you slip from me
my patience for you has gone
I no longer think of you all the time
even your voice is a fleeting memory
how long
has the passion been gone?
soon I'll burn it down passion, lies and all to the ground

life with a truth of glee

try to replace hate within
with a mind free of sin
but darkness closes in

the light fades out
pulling and running I shout

it consumes my feet I cannot see
